About us

SCI Australia no longer provides commercial access consulting services.  However we do have preferred supplier and referral information listed below. This ensures that consultancy services may still be found on this website.

SCI Australia provides and is involved in many Access services and committees. We continue to provide professional and introductory training courses in access related subjects. See below for details.

As part of the development of Access related information on this site we now also include a list of frequently asked questions to assist you in your access enquiries. The answers to these questions also include some contact information for other organisations and government departments to further assist you.

Access and other related committees 

Many friends and staff of SCI Australia belong and / or actively participate in their local communities through access related committees. Predominantly these are council based committees. We also actively participate in Australian Standard Committees. The purpose of our involvement is to ensure that the built environment continues to be more accessible for all people.
